From Theresa May to Barack Obama, the list of dancing politicians is long, and now former First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford joins the ranks.

Wales’ finance minister appears in an S4C documentary filmed at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, where he is shown key moments in the nation’s history.

Viewers of Cyfrinachau’r Llyfrgell (which focuses on the secrets of the library) are treated to Drakeford doing a dance move as he reflects on his grandmother performing a jig to celebrate Lloyd George introducing the pension.

Drakeford is also presented with documents relating to the family farm which inspired his bardic name “Mark Pengwern” and learns more about his personal hero, Jim Griffiths, the first Secretary of State for Wales.

Cyfrinachau’r Llyfrgell (Best Kept Secrets) starts on Tuesday, 16 September, 21:00 BST on S4C. Also available on BBC iPlayer
